"Le Départ pour la Pêche" (English: "The Departure for Fishing") is an oil painting by the renowned French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1865. As a leading figure of the Realism movement, Courbet was known for his commitment to painting scenes of everyday life and the working class, often eschewing the romanticized and historical subjects popular among his contemporaries. This painting is a testament to his dedication to depicting the realities of rural life.

The artwork captures a group of fishermen as they prepare to set out to sea, a scene likely inspired by the coastal landscapes and maritime activities of Courbet's native region. The composition is characterized by its dynamic arrangement of figures and the palpable sense of anticipation as the men ready their boat. Courbet's use of color and light reflects the early morning atmosphere, imbuing the scene with a sense of freshness and immediacy.

"Le Départ pour la Pêche" is notable for its embodiment of the Realist ethos, with Courbet's focus on the dignity of labor and the natural beauty of the landscape. The painting avoids idealization, instead offering a candid snapshot of the fishermen's lives, emphasizing their connection to the sea and their dependence on it for their livelihood.

As with many of Courbet's works, this painting is also significant for its technical qualities, including his loose brushwork and the textural contrasts that give the painting a lively, almost tactile quality. The work is a fine example of Courbet's skill in capturing the essence of a moment and the character of his subjects, making it an important piece within the canon of 19th-century French painting.

"Le Départ pour la Pêche" remains an important work for scholars and enthusiasts of Courbet and the Realist movement, offering insight into the social and economic realities of the time, as well as the artistic innovations that would influence generations of painters to come.
